re: This is going to hurt Louisiana Industry

I'm sure JBE will use this as an excuse to raise taxes on any and every thing.

This is my thinking. If your a sub or an employee of a sub and you have been getting fair wages and steady work, are you really going to up and leave for a quick payday?

Apparently a girl called me a pussy, a cuk and I've been accused of not wearing big boy pants. Guess I should have just started a wyhi or Taylor Swift thread so they could be engaged.

if you are willing to start a thread, you need to be prepared for opinions other than your own that might exist. not sure why you're carrying on with all this whining. why does my opinion of this thread bother you?

i wasn't asking for a shittier thread to be made. i just think this one is stupid, because i completely disagree with your position.
if there are problems caused by the storm, my suggestion is to adapt. how about you just solve the problems that come up? prepare for the worst and hope for the best. the south gets hit with hurricanes every year. there are ebbs and flows in the hiring market all the time.

this isn't something new that we will see.











and leave taylor out of this.

look, martini. this thread is redundant.
every year there's another disaster.
jobs are created, and jobs are lost.
i seriously doubt you will feel anything more than a ripple effect from harvey.





also, calm the frick down.

And now add Irma to the mix. But hey...don't mind me.


BR Business Report

While elected officials and leaders from the construction and industrial sectors continue to assess the extent of damage along the Texas coast from Hurricane Harvey, they know this much already: The storm, which dumped upwards of 50 inches of rain on east Texas two weeks ago, will cause a labor shortage that is likely to negatively impact Louisiana’s industrial construction sector.
“From a Louisiana perspective, especially over in Lake Charles, they’re concerned about the impact on construction,” says Greg Bowser, president of the Louisiana Chemical Association and the Louisiana Chemical Industry Alliance. “You’re going to have a drain on the workforce and we’re going to feel that here.”

Power grid. As of now for that scope yes it does. I also have several friends with Entergy that are there now as well after spending the last two weeks around Houston. They are out of Baton Rouge and pretty worn out. But that's a normal cycle and those guys know it.

But we are in the middle so maybe all the truck stops and gas stations along I-10 and I-12 will do fine.

In a meeting last week at a plant by Gramercy two nice projects were put on hold due to labor shortage that would have started in the next 45 days. They eventually will get done but it will take awhile. Their call - not mine as I have my personnel but I'm downstream so I don't make those decisions but it's $2 million in revenue I won't see in 2017.

On the other hand Texas is nonstop for us but has been for the last ten years.
